  February is not all about fasting, cleaning and staying quiet. There are lots of celebrations happening all around the world, too. Some have serious meanings, but others are good fun!
1st February Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is a noisy and colourful occasion and there will be festivities in big cities throughout the UK. There are firecrackers, lion and dragon dances, music, parades, lanterns and special foods such as noodles. People wear red clothes for luck and to ward off evil spirits.
2022 is the Year of the Tiger. In Chinese culture, the tiger is believed to be the protector of children. Babies and toddlers often
wear clothes with tiger designs on them for good
luck. People born in the Year of the Tiger are
said to be brave and active people who enjoy challenges and adventures.
